studies show that people with gum disease are more likely have heart disease
than those with healthy gums. Researchers aren't sure why that is; gum disease isn't proven to cause other diseases. But it makes since to take care of your mouth like you do with the rest of your body.</span></span><br />

can reduce the body’s resistance to infection. Elevated blood sugars increase
the risk of developing gum disease. What's more, gum disease can make it harder
to keep blood sugar levels in check. Protect your gums by keeping blood sugar
levels as close to normal as possible. Brush after each meal and floss and
rinse with an <span style="color: #0b5394;">antiseptic mouthwash daily. See your dentist at least twice a
year. Sometimes you dentists may want</span></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> to see you more often.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

have Sjögren's syndrome are more prone to have oral health problems, too. With
Sjögren's, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks tear ducts and saliva
glands, leading to chronically dry eyes and dry mouth (called xerostomia).
Saliva helps protect teeth and gums from bacteria that cause cavities and
gingivitis. So a perpetually dry mouth is more susceptible to tooth decay and
gum</span> </span></div>

that a chronically dry mouth raises risk of cavities and gum disease, you may
want to check your medicine cabinet. Antihistamines, decongestants,

Talk to your doctor or dentist to find out if your medication regimen is
affecting your oral health, and what you can do about it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

brittle bone disease osteoporosis affects all the bones in your body --

periodontitis, which is severe gum disease, can also break down the jaw bone.
One kind of osteoporosis medication -- bisphosphonates -- may slightly increase
the risk of a rare condition called osteonecrosis, which causes bone death of
the jaw. This is usually only a concern after involved dental surgery. Tell

mouth may be sore and pale if you're anemic, and your tongue can become swollen
and smooth (glossitis). When you have anemia, your body doesn't have enough red
blood cells, or your red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin. As a
result, your body doesn't get enough oxygen. There are different types of
anemia, and treatment varies. Talk to your doctor to find out what type you
have and how to treat it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

dentist may be the first to notice signs of an eating disorder such as bulimia.
The stomach acid from repeated vomiting can severely erode tooth enamel.
Purging can also trigger swelling in the mouth, throat, and salivary glands as

you're pregnant and have gum disease, you could be more likely to have a baby
that is born too early and too small. Exactly how the two conditions are linked
remains poorly understood. Underlying inflammation or infections may be to
blame. Pregnancy and its related hormonal changes also appear to worsen gum
disease. Talk to your obstetrician or dentist to find out how to protect

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">REMEDIES TO RID YOURSELF OF PAINFUL CANKER SORES:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1) Soaking a chamomile tea bag in water and placing it directly on the sore for five to 10 minutes can help you get rid of your canker sore more quickly. It has been shown that the chemicals in chamomile reduce inflammation & have antiseptic properties. Both of these properties will help reduce the pain of canker sores and may help speed the healing process.<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJwAogH6e7fdXCGVp8obtYcgWgwiclLL8UTgblL5OtH8_uJsh2amMMM0WjcXmxFzbe5BM_XpzOi5fSPwn9-6zx60teY84dAY8LvB0Cd4bUH-uJJ624CdZ-FKvq4k3lJ_oI0TNnrVzBAQR/s1600/chamomile+tea.jpg" /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">2) Placing raw honey directly on your canker sore can do wonders to soothe the pain & coat the sore. Honey makes a wonderfully soothing coating for a painful canker sore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">** Mix 1 tsp. of salt into 1 cup of warm water (1/2 tsp. of baking soda may be added). Swish for 30 seconds, then spit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">3) Simply mix the Aloe with some water and swish it around in the mouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The gel from this plant soothes canker sores as well. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLtxiYC94w4LVc3W6SVcHUfP-Vs0gbKMs8PCXiGhEdwR8Sfn-DtmGGVQS8LDM7j1Rtv6Ti0_1py_12wTIX4Hpl9IMH8zW6pFyAJClQKBGYGhBcqDSbQN8_10OIA4N7-3GCBGYLZh8dPGn/s1600/aloe+healing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLtxiYC94w4LVc3W6SVcHUfP-Vs0gbKMs8PCXiGhEdwR8Sfn-DtmGGVQS8LDM7j1Rtv6Ti0_1py_12wTIX4Hpl9IMH8zW6pFyAJClQKBGYGhBcqDSbQN8_10OIA4N7-3GCBGYLZh8dPGn/s1600/aloe+healing.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">** Make sure you use the natural gel- not the green kind (OTC)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4) Your toothpaste may be the culprit. Certain ingredients in your toothpaste can cause canker sores. Switch to a toothpaste that does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a foaming agent that may contribute to recurrences.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">5) Benadryl mixed with Milk of Magnesia is a way to conquer canker sores.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">** Rinse your mouth with a mixture of 1/2 of Milk of Magnesia and 1/2 Benadryl liquid allergy medicine. Swish the mixture in the mouth for about 1 minute, then spit it out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">6) Chewing on a Rolaid, Tums, or Pepto-Bismal- or just placing the tablets directly on canker sore can do absolute wonders. The pain that is felt from a canker sore is caused by acids and digestive enzymes eating into the tissue in the sore. The tablets will neutralize the acids and aid in the healing of the sores.<span style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIUW85vP7xb8hoxC1CeOLXc6UgUUcHRDgbVQkVOp24FskghJkxWkVNUB1QqmFQgVazG_SNYWcCPzuqpYPisnZf-v7JYOK9joThMv2SsDuuq0xgGUHEefsmx9ohNWRDHP9oRBK4HX74OXHz/s1600/rolaid+mints.jpg" /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">7) Yogurt can contain cultures that are great at fighting canker sores. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">** Eat yogurt that contains live acidophilus cultures (check the label) Have a few teaspoons daily for prevention-more when you're having a breakout.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Did you Know? <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Teeth tattoos are a cool new way "fashion trend" that are the rage</span>!</span></span><br />

The concept is exactly what it sounds like. Tooth meets ink. They are as vibrant as any other tattoo you would get on any other part of your body- and they are just a permanent, too (as long as the crown last). An image is placed on a cap/crown by Suburban Laboratory in Bloomfield, Conn., where their staff specializes in chomper customization. They range in prices, but mostly fall under $200.00 (not including the fee for the cap/crown).<br />

<br />
<br />
The catch is, that the tattoo goes on the cap/crown, not your tooth. This of course is a good thing since spending hours under the a tattoo gun hammering into your teeth would be rather painful/stressful/traumatizing experience !<br />

<div class="clipper-all-content .clipper--ready">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Here are some of the latest clues will clue you in on where you could be going wrong : </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Multitasking while you brush</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Every minute in the morning feels precious, so it’s tempting to brush your </span><a href="http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20398266,00.html"><span style="color: #351c75;">teeth</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;"> in the shower or while scrolling through your Twitter feed . It is best to be in front of a mirror, over the sink; you can be sure to hit all the surfaces of your teeth, and you’ll do a more thorough job when you’re not distracted.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Over cleaning your toothbrush</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Thinking about disinfecting your toothbrush by running it through the dishwasher or zapping it in the microwave? Think again: According to the CDC, there is no evidence that any one has ever become sick from their own toothbrush. These drastic cleaning measures can actually damage your toothbrush and decrease the efficacy. Just rinse your toothbrush with regular tap water ,let air dry & store your brush upright where it is not touching anyone else's.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Using social media as your dentist</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">The web is loaded with DYI dental tips. Many of these tips may be harmful rather than helpful to your teeth and surrounding structures! It is recommended that you use ADA-approved products that have been tested.</span></div>

<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Avoiding Dental Radiographs (x-rays)</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Dental radiographs (X-rays) are important because not all conditions can be identified with a visual exam. Bitewing x-rays (cavity detecting ) are recommended for your dentist to detect caries (decay) between teeth, Panoramic x-rays can detect tumors that may found in the jaw, and Full mouth Series are taken to identify bone levels pathologies and caries. If you’re concerned about radiation, talk to your dentist about ways to minimize the number of x-rays you get.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Storing your wet toothbrush in a travel case</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">It's important to store your toothbrush in a sanitary place in your suitcase & equally important to remove it once you unpack. Keeping your toothbrush in an enclosed environment keeps it moist which breads bacteria. No stand-up holder in your hotel room? Just use a cup for drinking water, that’ll do just fine.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Hanging on to that tongue or lip piercing</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> In today's society, self expression can take the form of a tongue barbell or lip ring which can be harmful to your teeth as well as your gingiva (gums.) Tongue & teeth piercings have shown problems with gum recession, infections and fractured teeth, all which can be expensive to treat, Had your piercing for ages with no trouble, you say? Just wait: Studies have shown that your risk of </span><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22369561" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">dental problems from tongue and lip piercings</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;"> gets worse the longer you have them.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Drinking apple cider vinegar</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Many Hollywood celebrities & natural health experts claim drinking unfiltered apple-cider vinegar (ACV) can have near-miraculous effects in your insides, Research doesn’t support those claims. Dentists are sure of one thing: The acetic acid in the vinegar is terrible since it erodes tooth enamel.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;"> Ditching your retainer</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">If you once had braces, whether as a teen or as an adult, it’s smart to keep wearing your retainer for as long as your orthodontist recommends—which may mean several nights a week, FOREVER ! These retainers keep those teeth in line for good. For those who have a fixed retainer, be sure to it clean since they can be plaque traps.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Brushing right after your morning OJ</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Like to start your day with a glass of orange juice—or </span><a href="http://news.health.com/2015/02/24/why-you-should-start-your-day-with-lemon-water/"><span style="color: #351c75;">lemon water</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;">? Brushing right afterward can wear away your enamel. The acidic environment weakens </span><a href="http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20398266,00.html"><span style="color: #351c75;">the teeth enamel</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;"> and erosion can occur during this vulnerable period. To prevent this, wait 30 minutes before brushing. (this also applies after drinking your morning coffee or tea) As a side note: this also true with vomiting, this is acidic , be sure to rinse after and wait to brush for 30 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Ignoring your daily (or nightly) grind.</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">While mild bruxism (grinding) or clenching —might not seem like a big deal, severe cases can lead to everything from chipped and worn teeth to headaches, TMJ (jaw trouble). Since most people are unaware that they grind their teeth at night (nocturnal bruxism). Common signs are chipped or worn teeth, jaw soreness or a dull, constant headache. Your dentist are usually the ones that notice these signs & recommend fabricating an occlusal (mouth) guard to protect your teeth from the damaging forces that is brought on by this habit.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Smoking</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">We all know how bad smoking is bad for you heart & lungs. Besides halitosis (bad breath) & stained teeth, smoking is also one of the most significant risk factors associated with the development of periodontal (gum)disease. Worse yet, smoking can also lower your chances for successful treatment if you’ve already have periodontal (gum) disease. Nicotine compromises your body’s ability to fight infection & the smoke which is an irritant, can decreases your healing capacities post extractions and placements of implants. </span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Reaching for the toothpick</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Even though a toothpick is good for quick removal of food particles ,the truth is that wooden toothpicks are poor substitutes for dental floss: They can splinter and break, and using them too aggressively can cause damage to sensitive gingival (gum )tissue. Notching tooth structures from use over a long period of time has also been seen.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Skipping dental appointments</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Most people have dental anxiety ! By maintaining routine dental visits (6,4 or 3 month recare visits) you are less likely to have problems. Waiting a long period of time between visits or waiting for it to hurt may lead to many and expensive dental treatments . Today, dentists employ everything from serene, spa-like settings to animal-assisted therapy (that is, a gentle dog who sits beside you at your appointment) to alleviate patient anxiety & discomfort.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"> <span style="color: #741b47;">Going overboard with bleach</span></span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> This should be a no- brainer ; Over bleaching can dehydrate your teeth weakening the enamel and may even cause sensitivity by exposing the dentin (layer below the enamel), Unfortunately little is known about the long-term effects of whitening, but the bottom line is that you should consult your dentist— on which products are safe. Remember moderation is best! </span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Not drinking enough water</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">If your part of the country fluoridates its water , The simple act of sipping tap water can help strengthen your teeth. Some bottled waters have fluoride, and some don’t; check the ingredients. It is also recommended to swish with a drinking water after you eat (if a toothbrush is not available) to rinse accumulated sugars and acids from </span><a href="http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20398266,00.html"><span style="color: #351c75;">your teeth</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;">.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Skimping on calcium & vitamin D</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Minerals & vitamins are building blocks for both teeth & bones. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. adult women need 1,000-1,200 milligrams of calcium and 400-1000 IU (international units) of vitamin D /day from foods, supplements or sunlight . Consult your GP 7 Dentist on your nutrient needs & support to your teeth.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Getting addicted to juicing</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> Beware- Juicing , whether homemade or bottled can be detrimental to your teeth. Even though they may be packed with vitamins & other nutrients, these juices bathe your mouth with acids (ie-lemon juice) to high levels of sugars (fructose ). To minimize their damage to your teeth: rinse with water after acidic juices, and be sure to brush 30 minutes after you consume your drinks to protect your teeth from all that acid and sugar.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Using a toothbrush that is too hard</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Hard- bristle brushes are tough on not only on your teeth but your gingiva (gums) Harder bristles can erode your enamel and cause gingival (gum) recession. Ouch! Believe it or not, softer bristles are more flexible removing plaque better than harder bristles without causing as much damage when brushing correctly.</span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Reaching for the wrong mouth rinse</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;">There are several mouthwashes to choose from. Cosmetic rinses, for example, will merely control bad breath and leave you with a pleasant taste in your mouth. Therapeutic rinses with ingredients like antimicrobial agents and fluoride, on the other hand, can actually help reduce gingivitis, cavities, plaque, and bad breath. (Reminder: Fluoride rinses should not be used for those under the age of 6) </span></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Drinking pop (yes,even diet)</span></strong></div>
<div class="clipper--hidden">
<span style="color: #351c75;"> FYI: all acidic drinks- regular pop (soda), diet pop, even sport drinks can cause tooth erosion. To help decrease the effects of these acidic & sugary drinks, try to drink these with food and remember to rinse with water after if unable to brush your teeth 30 minutes after consumption. Of course, the best thing to drink is water :)</span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You brush, floss and even use the water pik to remove plaque.

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You probably do not realize just how damaging skipping brushing @ least twice a day as well as flossing once a day can be to your dental health. Interesting statistics from a 2014 Health and Well being survey found that more than 30% of Americans do not brush enough, and 23% have actually missed two or more days without brushing at all!. When it comes to flossing, only 40% of people floss at least once a day, and 20% just do not floss . The reason we need to brush & floss is to remove the food debris & bacteria that exist in our mouths. Leaving this bacteria around will allow it to colonize and produce acids that break down the teeth resulting in caries (decay) and Periodontal (gum) Disease.<img alt="Image result for importance of brushing and flossing teeth" height="124" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRl3zgdHKZ1McA2K1EihsMddilCAhhuvrMJy4tQ4newH5xYW2Ja7w" width="200" /></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Proper tooth brushing technique is important to learn to help thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth without causing damage to your teeth & gums (gingiva). Always use a soft toothbrush! When using a manual toothbrush, one method recommended is brushing in small circles for at least 2 minutes, instead of side to side. Aggressive horizontal scrubbing with abrasive toothpastes (ie-whitening toothpaste) may cause , overtime, damage to both your teeth and gums. When using an electric toothbrush,(follow the manufactures directions), allow the brush to do the work. Applying additional force may also harm both your teeth and gums.<img alt="Image result for tooth brushing techniques" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTE-xpq0mIwapyiPEPchKquA-ovavzDNTC5_8InNPyjMUxyprd" /></span><br />

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Some toothpastes, especially the natural ones, brand themselves as fluoride free. The fact is that you need fluoride to achieve the healthiest teeth possible. Using a fluoridate toothpaste acts like a delivery system to delivery concentrated amount of fluoride to all the surfaces of your teeth. Fluoride can help replace the mineral worn away by bacteria-producing acids.</span></div>

(plaque + sugar = acid). If you drink a sugary drink, drink it all at once and then brush your teeth . If you are unable to brush, rinse your mouth with water or chew sugarless gum to activates your saliva to help wash away some of the sugars. Remember, when it comes to sugar, frequency can be more damaging than quantity. ( This includes starchy snacks such as potatoes chips ) To best cut down on the acids from sugary drinks & snacks, it is to incorporate these foods & drinks with your meals.</span><br />

<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Some</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">babies are fussier than others when they are teething. This may because of the soreness and swelling of the gums. These symptoms can begin a couple weeks before the tooth shows and the fussiness usually ends after the tooth has broke through the skin.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;"> STAGES OF TEETHING:</span></strong></span><br />
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">0-6 Months:</span></strong></u> Your baby is born with a full set of teeth beneath the gums which are referred to as "Milk Teeth".</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span> </div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">6 Months:</span></strong></u> Around this age the first set of teeth that begin to erupt are the incisors (upper and lower front teeth). Before eruption, the bumpy edges are often felt beneath the gum line and you may notice your baby begin chewing on their hands, toys or other items</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong> 10-14 Months</strong>:</span></u> Here come the ... Primary Molars (upper and lower jaw, towards the back of the mouth)! This stage is similar to stage 2 but with an increase in drool, crankiness and the urge to chew on everything in site! In this stage you may also notice your child experiencing fevers, diarrhea and loss of appetite. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">16-22 Months:</span></strong></u> During this stage your baby's canine teeth (pointed teeth on the upper and lower jaw) will erupt</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">25-33 Months:</span></strong></u> Revenge of the molars! These are twice the size of the other teeth. Most parents will say this is the most difficult time of the teething process.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>Although teething can be a difficult time for parents & the child their are remedies to help your child feel better while they are teething:</strong></span><ul>
<li><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Use a clean finger to gently rub your baby's gums for a couple minutes. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Provide some teething rings/toys. *Try refrigerating a teething ring, this helps reduce swelling and soothes sore gums*</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Ask your pediatrician on over the counter medicine.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Orajel</span></li>

The nylon bristled toothbrush that we now use was invented in 1938. Today, battery powered toothbrushes are available in addition to manual toothbrushes.<br />

<br /> <strong>Both manual and powered toothbrushes can effectively and thoroughly clean teeth. People who have difficulty using a manual toothbrush may find a powered toothbrush easier or more comfortable to use. The size and shape of the brush should fit your mouth comfortably, allowing you to reach all areas easily.</strong><br /><br /> No matter what type of toothbrush you choose, the American Dental Association recommends that you brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner daily.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEx_KOuGfzRLjbAK427jW0QZebsWHFSYreNDOCWGORspb63OVOO-TNfGEjHp09rBH7iNiukBasRDrJ0U-rFTCjVTrDboiUPv8sGNOCZyMJkO56l1ZmShFsvHRV0TwICyBco-uGhsNhUkV/s1600/brushing+twice.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEx_KOuGfzRLjbAK427jW0QZebsWHFSYreNDOCWGORspb63OVOO-TNfGEjHp09rBH7iNiukBasRDrJ0U-rFTCjVTrDboiUPv8sGNOCZyMJkO56l1ZmShFsvHRV0TwICyBco-uGhsNhUkV/s320/brushing+twice.png" width="320" /></a><br /><br />

<strong>Here are five easy ways to make sure your toothbrush is truly clean:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Don’t share toothbrushes. </strong>Using someone else’s toothbrush exposes you to another person’s body fluids and potential germs, which could make you sick. People with compromised immune systems or who are sick with something they could pass on to another person should take special care to use only their own toothbrush.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPJhDfZMQFAPWtPPuRoVoFqm0QDI2Jd4fqYDVFziR4qMeaCk9y67Ue6jWZ9gCKmb2F1mTliew9DKEMRStSMf2E-ASPfO6keUoROp5kv9zrGXiF9NwhzHYKTgCTt3HgJ7NgSvScRSoYvmvn/s1600/bacteria+on+tb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPJhDfZMQFAPWtPPuRoVoFqm0QDI2Jd4fqYDVFziR4qMeaCk9y67Ue6jWZ9gCKmb2F1mTliew9DKEMRStSMf2E-ASPfO6keUoROp5kv9zrGXiF9NwhzHYKTgCTt3HgJ7NgSvScRSoYvmvn/s1600/bacteria+on+tb.jpg" /></a><br /><strong>Rinse your toothbrush after brushing. </strong>Give it a thorough washing to remove any leftover toothpaste or debris.<br /><br /><strong>Store your toothbrush in an upright position. </strong>When you’re done brushing, try to store it standing straight up and allow it to air-dry until your next brushing. If there’s more than one brush in the same holder, try to keep them as separate as possible to prevent cross-contamination.<br /><br /><strong>Keep your toothbrush out in the open.</strong> Do not routinely cover toothbrushes or store them in closed containers. A moist environment, such as a closed container, is more conducive to the growth of microorganisms than the open air.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg0PyqjyJ2PFmIQGRlFBKf8QACpY2fhEmsYjLM_r2lvLnGwMr10X3gKX5vrcOSB8kGYstrj5QLuerlAAv8kWofw6TgnwM8LkxlUJktjqerkmAJqJoGgffyOYhluCLjn2MaTOq9OQ-GpeT/s1600/cap+toothpaste.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg0PyqjyJ2PFmIQGRlFBKf8QACpY2fhEmsYjLM_r2lvLnGwMr10X3gKX5vrcOSB8kGYstrj5QLuerlAAv8kWofw6TgnwM8LkxlUJktjqerkmAJqJoGgffyOYhluCLjn2MaTOq9OQ-GpeT/s320/cap+toothpaste.jpg" width="268" /></a><br />
<strong>Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months.</strong> Bristles that become frayed and worn with use and will be less effective at cleaning teeth. Children’s toothbrushes often need replacing more frequently than adult brushes. Look for toothbrushes that display the <a href="http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/ada-seal-products/">ADA Seal of Acceptance</a>.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynfGm4QKvbRm3mCqmv0dLhZUlB-BWgHHU93SytWAZHjl18xtvWD5WG0XFbU9NHiCY3zfFWqg44HtR_Mp2mLN-AIi7kHVPPXga0ukTFqaPJYFWOF0mA2VpCXuvNax-8a48AgG8F91v4Htg/s1600/change+me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynfGm4QKvbRm3mCqmv0dLhZUlB-BWgHHU93SytWAZHjl18xtvWD5WG0XFbU9NHiCY3zfFWqg44HtR_Mp2mLN-AIi7kHVPPXga0ukTFqaPJYFWOF0mA2VpCXuvNax-8a48AgG8F91v4Htg/s320/change+me.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Over time, many of the foods we eat can cause our teeth to discolor. Many foods have artificial coloring in them, such as soda or kool-aid, and many are naturally dark in color, such as fruits and fruit juices. For this reason, it is recommended that you limit your intake of these types of foods and drinks.<br /> There are some things you can do to keep your teeth whiter! Bleaching is of course the number one thing to eliminate stains fast, although you can only do this safely a couple times per year. Have your teeth cleaned regularly. Plaque build-up will attract a stain faster than a smooth, clean tooth. If you have deeply stained teeth, the Dental Hygienist can professionally remove the stain . It is also recommended that you use an electric toothbrush, and use an antibacterial mouthwash to help remove plaque. Do this religiously after eating or drinking and you will greatly reduce the chances of stained teeth!</span> </div>

This can cause bad breath or taste abnormalities. Typically [black and hairy tongue] is brought on by smoking, drinking coffee and dark teas, or poor dental hygiene.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"> It could mean</span>: You’re getting
older (yes, even our tongues show signs of aging). Fissures and cracks in the
tongue are typically harmless, but problems can arise if poor dental hygiene
leads to infection within the crevices. Once in a while a fungal infection can
develop inside the clefts. Sudden pain, a foul smell, and sometimes burning can
occur with these wrinkles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often the
infection is treated with a topical antifungal medication. Some dental
appliances, like dentures, can also cause indentations on the tongue. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure your removable appliances fit well,
drink a lot of water & practice good oral hygiene esp. clean your tongue.</span><span style="font-size: small;">

irritating your mouth. Painless white patches (called leukoplakia) are caused

about a 5 to 17 percent chance of developing into cancer. In many cases,
leukoplakia can reverse when you stop smoking.<br />
<br />
Not a smoker? “The patches can also sometimes result just from the abrasion of
the tooth constantly rubbing against the tongue. It is extremely important to
see your dentist, if the lesion does not go away within 2 week</span></div>

nothing. A very normal, common condition, “geographic tongue” refers to a
tongue that looks like bumpy terrain. Typically harmless, geographic tongue
affects between 1 and 14 percent of the U.S. population. They can regenerate, so some go away
and some don’t. Geographic tongue (also called: Migratory Glossitis ) typically requires no treatment or checkup,
but if it becomes painful, a doctor may be able to prescribe an
anti-inflammatory steroid paste or antihistamine rinse.</span></span></span><br />

postmenopausal, or using the wrong toothpaste. If your tongue stings and burns
as though it’s been scalded—but looks perfectly normal—hormonal changes could
be to blame. Though burning tongue syndrome can happen to anybody (it affects
up to 15 percent of the population), women are seven times more likely to
experience it than men. It’s uncertain why this occurs, and the condition goes
away in some individuals while it persists in others.<br />
<br />
Some people can also experience burning sensations from developing an allergy
to certain toothpastes. An ingredient called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which
helps toothpaste get foamy, can cause stinging—sometimes suddenly. “Someone
might be using one toothpaste their entire life, and then suddenly, their mouth
starts hurting, try Sensodyne Tp. For other causes, a doctor
may be able to prescribe treatments such as antibiotic rinses or pills for
neuropathic pain.</span></span></span></span></div>

Typical in young children, thrush also affects people with autoimmune diseases, people with diabetes that isn’t well controlled, chemotherapy patients, and the elderly.

If you don't feel inspired when brushing your teeth, this might change that. <br />
Toothpaste is a master multitasker, capable of polishing gemstones, buffing bowls, smoothing scratches and so much more. Here's what it can do for you! <br />

<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Erase scuffs from shoes</span></strong> <br />
Don't you hate when your new kicks have fresh marks? "Toothpaste is great for getting scuff marks off sneakers," says Barbara Reich, owner of the organizing <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook0" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook0w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">company</span></a> Resourceful Consultants. "Just a little dot will go a long way, so start small and add more if needed." <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Remove crayons from walls</span></strong><br />
Toothpaste will make crayon marks disappear <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook1" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook1w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">faster</span></a> . Spread over the artwork, scrub, then rinse with water. The abrasives in the toothpaste will easily get your wall back to normal." <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Help you hang art</span></strong> <br />
Now that your walls are crayon-free, use a dab of basic toothpaste (no whiteners or fresh strips) on the back corners to press lightweight posters, collages and other mementos into position. (Decent hold and no holes!) And for frames backed by teeth hangers or picture hooks, toothpaste can be used to determine where to position and pound the nail. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Fill wall holes</span></strong> <br />
In a pinch, plain white toothpaste can also be used in lieu of Spackle to patch holes left by pins, nails, screws, etc. It's not really a permanent solution, and will probably make real repairs trickier down the line, so use this method only if you don't plan to stick around (and your landlord deserves it). <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OonN-1AkRc"> </a> <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Treat pimples</span></strong> <br />
If you've been a teenager, you've gone to <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook2" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook2w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">bed</span></a> with toothpaste on your face. But have you tried blending it with crushed aspirin? Aspirin is derived from willow bark, the same source for salicylic acid, a popular acne fighter. So the former dries the pimple up, the latter fosters cellular turnover and decreased inflammation. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Brighten your nails</span></strong> <br />
Whitening peroxide toothpastes can <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook3" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook3w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">help</span></a> restore luster to nails discolored and yellowed by dark polishes. Use a nailbrush or unused toothbrush to scrub the stains away — really get in there, especially under the nails. Follow up with a nice lemon juice soak. <br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>Shine diamonds</strong> </span><br />
Beautiful digits demand more beautiful bling, right? Make your best friends shimmer by using toothpaste and a very soft toothbrush to <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook4" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook4w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">clean</span></a> your diamonds. Your diamonds will shine in just minutes !<br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Polish the silver</span></strong> <br />
From tarnished picture frames to dingy jewelry, a thorough tumble with old-school white toothpaste (gel formulas don't really work) will cause tarnish to literally rub off your hands, blacken your brush and turn your polishing cloth gray. Follow with a good rinse and buff dry. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Clean your toilet</span></strong> <br />
In less than 30 seconds, you can shine up the inside rim and bowl or your porcelain throne, sans toxic chemicals. This is also a fantastic way to use up <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook5" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook5w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">your kids'</span></a> barely-used toothpastes. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Lighten grout</span></strong> <br />
Return your blackened grout to its original light gray color using sudsy, whitening paste and a toothbrush. If you <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook6" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook6w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">care</span></a> about speed (and your arms, back, knees), consider using an electric. Use a rag to wipe up the toothpaste muck as you go, since it's way harder to clean once it dries all crusty. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Remove water rings</span></strong> <br />
No coasters? No problem. Removing water rings on wood furniture by a gentle rub of white, non-gel toothpaste. Focus on the ring only, since toothpaste can potentially damage a wood finish. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Deodorize containers</span></strong> <br />
Toothpaste was made to help eliminate stinky food odors, and it can do the same for baby bottles, thermoses and other containers that have gone ripe. Simply scrub, using it in place of <a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.today.com/home/household-uses-toothpaste-t19171?__source=xfinity|hero&par=xfinity#" id="itxthook8" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook8w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">dish soap</span></a>. For the same reason, toothpaste can quickly eradicate garlic, onion, curry and other potent food smells from your hands. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Diabetes puts you at risk for dental problems. It impairs the ability to fight bacteria in your mouth. Having high blood sugar encourages bacteria to grow & contributes to periodontal (gum) disease. <strong>You may have periodontal disease if you have:</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"> Gingiva (gums) that are red, sore, bleeding or swollen, or that pulls away from your teeth</span></li>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">
Well controlled diabetes contributes to a healthy mouth. If you have poorly controlled or high blood sugar, your risk increases to dry mouth, periodontal (gum) disease, tooth loss and fungal infections like thrush. Since infections can also make blood sugar rise, your diabetes may become even harder to control. Keeping your mouth healthy can help you manage your blood sugar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> <strong> See Your Dentist Regularly</strong><!--[endif]--></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: x-small;">
</span><!--[endif]--><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">
People with diabetes are prone to oral infections. You should get dental checkups at least twice a year. Let your dentist know you have diabetes and what medicines you take. Regular checkups and professional cleanings can help keep your mouth healthy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> <strong> Keep Plaque at Bay</strong></span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sticky plaque-food, saliva, and bacteria-starts to form on your teeth after you eat, releasing acids that attack tooth enamel. Untreated plaque turns to calculus (tartar), which builds under the gingiva (gums) & is hard to remove with flossing. The longer it stays on your teeth, the more harmful it is. Bacteria in plaque causes inflammation and leads to periodontal (gum) disease. Having high blood sugar often makes periodontal (gum) disease worse.</span></span></span><br />

Loose-fitting or poorly maintained dentures can lead to gum irritation, sores, & infections. It's important to talk to your dentist about the changes in the fit of your dentures. When you have diabetes, you are at a higher risk of fungal infections like thrush and mouth sores that are difficult to heal. Poorly maintained dentures can also contribute to thrush. It's important to remove & clean dentures daily to help reduce your risk of infection. (it is also recommended that you do not sleep with your dentures in to allow your tissues to breath at night).</span><br />

<strong></strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;">Tobacco products-including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, and pipes-are bad for anyone's oral cavity. If you have diabetes and smoke, you are increasing your risk of periodontal (gum) disease. Tobacco can damage the gum tissue and may cause receding of your gingiva (gums). It can also speed up bone and tissue loss, leading to lost teeth (Periodontal Disease)</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We all know that exercising is great for your health. One of the primary reasons for running is that it helps lose weight, fight heart disease and relives stress. However running can also have hidden negative effect on one of the most important parts of your body; Teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> When you add all the carbs, sports drinks and protein bars that are likely consumed during or after a work out, your mouth has the perfect environment for cavi<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">ties. Sugar feeds decay-causing bacteria and our defenses against this bad bacteria lives in our saliva. </span></span></span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> While most runners breath through their mouth, the mouth is usually dry during the entire run which slows saliva rates and makes it harder for the mouth to clean its self. Therefore, when the mouth is dry, your teeth are at risk.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Here are a few things you can to save your teeth during a workout!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />1.Stay hydrated</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />2.Pop a sugar free mint or a piece gum after a workout (helps your saliva glands to start working again)</span><br />

<li><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Periodontal Disease</strong> (Gum disease) : <span style="color: #0b5394;">is caused by plaque buildup on the teeth, and it</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">is worsened when food is left on the teeth. Tobacco products, poor diet and dentures that do not fit can also contribute.</span> Diseases such as cancer, anemia, diabetes and several others may contribute to gum disease.</span></li>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Age is not always the main factor for determining oral health. Some people who are in their 70's have healthier teeth and gums than people who are in their 20's who have bad genes. Some medical conditions that are related to age may affect how a person performs oral hygiene tasks. For example, a person with arthritis in the hands may find it more difficult to brush & floss regularly.</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;">Oral Hygiene Tips for Senior Citizens :</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">Daily brushing is essential, and seniors should try to floss every day to prevent food buildup between teeth. If oral hygiene is neglected, plaque will quickly build up and start eroding the enamel. The following tips are helpful:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">Brush twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">Routine visits (~3mos,4mos, or 6mos, as recommended by the dentist ).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">Floss daily</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">Use antimicrobial mouth rinses to prevent plaque buildup which may lead to caries (decay) & periodontal disease (gum disease).</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Dental Exam:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">A dentist will screen for oral cancer (check the face , tongue, neck, lymph nodes, & jaw), and check your occlusion (bite) and dentition (teeth) during the exam. A dentist should ask the following details:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">The date of the last oral exam.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">The reason for the last appointment.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patients has noticed any sensitive or loose teeth.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patient has noticed changes in the mouth.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patient has noticed a diminished sense of taste.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patient has had difficulty swallowing, chewing, or tasting.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patient has bumps, swelling or lumps in the mouth.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If the patient has discomfort, sores, or bleeding in the mouth.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;">* Dentist will also look for signs of irritation in the mouth and examine the appliances (dentures, partials, bridges...) themselves for problems.</span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial;">Dental Financial Aid For Seniors:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial;">If a senior is on a limited or fixed income, it can be difficult to afford dental care. Many professionals offer services at reduced process for seniors with help of society/community-sponsored programs.

<strong><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So it's the weekend and everyone is busy.. And where are you? At home with a toothache, wishing Monday would hurry up and arrive so you can get to a dentist.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"></span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> -</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Try rinsing your mouth out first.</strong></span> Take a mouthful of room-temperature water and rinse vigorously. Many times, a painful toothache can caused simply by trapped food.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_hide"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...</span></span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> *<span style="color: #274e13;"><strong> If that doesn't work, try flossing GENTLY.</strong></span> This should get rid of the problem, unless your problem is something other than just stuck food.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Numb the pain</strong>-</span> Take a shot of whiskey (do not swallow it), and hold it in your mouth right over the painful tooth. Your gums will absorb the alcohol and it will numb the pain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <strong>Rinse with salt water</strong>- Make sure the water is room temperature. This is very soothing and cleansing and will help keep it from getting any worse.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Massage your hand</strong>-</span> Rubbing an ice-cube in the V-shape between your index finger and your thumb for 5-7 minutes can reduce the pain by 50%.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Put a little clove oil on it</strong>-</span> You can purchase this over the counter. Simply drop a little right on the tooth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Try not to bite-</span></strong> Obviously, if you have a toothache, try not to bite on that side whatsoever.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Try icing it up-</span></strong> This may not work if you have sensitivity to cold. If you don't, you might try sucking on an ice cube- on or near that tooth. If sucking on an ice-cube isn't going to work, try puting an icepack on your cheek in 15 minute intervals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <span style="color: #274e13;">C<strong>lose your mouth-</strong></span> If you are having sensitivity to cold, breathing through your mouth can cause even more pain. Try breathing through your nose.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Take Aspirin</strong>-</span> Don't put it directly on your tooth or gum, this can cause damage. Actually take and swallow an aspirin every 4-6 hours.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Keep it cool</span></strong>- Try to avoid getting to warm or hot. And definitely avoid placing heat on the area. Heat draws infection to the surface, making it worse and more painful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> * <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">These tips are to GET YOU BY until you can see a dental professional.</span></strong></span></span></div>

Scientists at Japan's Showa University say they have been able to perfect a sort of robot practice dummy that dental students can practice on and get some sort of a realistic reaction to different mistakes being made during the practice. The robot will move its mouth as though it is engaging in conversation and will even gag or choke if the student is doing something that would most likely make a real person do the same. Even more lifelike, this robot will also occasionally come down with the need or shake its head and even simulate the need to close its mouth if it has been open too long and too wide.<br />
Of course a robot that has a rubber coating that feels a little too much skin and will actually train its empty robotic eyes on you could actually be quite unnerving but the makers of the robot say that once the students get past their initial misgivings, this particular robot will go a long way towards getting patients familiar with the interactions of an actual patient without causing such patient as much discomfort. The robot, Hanako 2, is as lifelike as she is in large part thanks to an unlikely partnership between the researchers and Japan's top sex-doll company, Orient Industry. Orient worked hard to make sure that Hanako's skin, tongue and mouth were all built in order to look and feel as close to a real human as possible. It is because of these attention to details, paired up with the small sensors all around the robot's "skin" that make Hanako so convincing and such a good training aid.<br />
While the robot was originally created over a decade ago, the Showa researchers say this is a vast improvement over their original model.<br />
